Arnold looks pretty pleased with herself, as well she might. Her third feature, Wuthering Heights, is premiering in a competition slot at Venice. You try doing it

Here's Arnold with her cast. Did The Inbetweeners get lost on the way to Magaluf? Left to right: Solomon Glave, James Howson, Arnold, Kaya Scodelario, Shannon Beer Photograph: ANDREA MEROLA/EPA

Here's the extremely chipper James Howson, who plays Heathcliff. First movie, he's in Venice. It's all downhill from here

Yes, it's her off Skins. Kaya Scodelario is Cathy, attempting to banish memories of Kate Bush prancing around in a leotard

This is Shannon Beer, who apparently plays 'Young Cathy'. To be honest, she doesn't look much younger than Scodelario Photograph: Dominique Charriau/WireImage

And last but not least, here's Solomon Glave, who plays the younger version of Heathcliff. He looks like he's enjoying himself too
